FROM THE ARCHIVES - Spider-Dan Goodwin Climbs The Sears Tower

Chicago History Podcast

FROM THE ARCHIVES from October, 2020:
On Memorial Day, May 25th, 1981, a 25-year-old year old sport climber dressed as comic book hero Spider-Man used a system of suction cups and other climbing gear to scale the outside of the 110-story Sears Tower, which at that time was the tallest building in the world. He came back later that year to climb the John Hancock Center. This is the story of Spider-Dan Goodwin, who was kind enough to let me interview him for this episode.
